Me vs. BYU Undergrads

I never understood why grad students got so cranky about undergrads.  Turns out that was because my previous grad program was in a dedicated building.  This one is not and I get it now.  

Also, I’m pretty sure BYU undergrads are more annoying than regular undergrads.

Stumping Netflix’s ad generator

I must be a Latin mom, right?  What other demographic would spend this much time watching Disney movies in Spanish?

Grown Men vs. BYU Honor Code

In honor of all my male classmates who are breaking out the razor this week:

Realizing you will have to shave

And going through the 5 Stages of Grief

Denial

Anger

Bargaining

Depression

Acceptance

Followed immediately by regret

And now they don’t look old enough to drive

Welcome to school guys!

Back to school

This year I’m back at BYU for another grad program.  (One a side note, one of my favorite hobbies is talking people out of going to law school - so if you are considering it, PM me first)

Since I’m a student again, I should be posting  much more regularly.  Also, there will surely be a bunch more BYU humor.

When you show up to ward choir and there are only 2 other people in your section, so you know you’ll be heard

“Look at the demographics of this room - unless you are willing to settle for being a ministering angel, you need to accept that there will be polygamy in heaven”

When the first person up to the pulpit makes a joke about being prevented from bearing testimony last month, then proceeds to tell 2 long mission stories, give a full length testimony, and then read a long scripture passage and explain it

This person felt what it is like to wait on the stand to share and then have to go back to their seat.  And they still took a good 15 minutes even though there were another 10+ people waiting.  

Every month the bishop stands up and cuts the testimonies off at 2:05.  Even if there is still a line of people waiting.  But he doesn’t interrupt selfish jerks that thank-i-mony on and on even when there is a line.
